The presentation must be accompanied by some complimentary visual aide which may include: power point, keynote, prezi, video clip, poster, pamphlet, etc.
The presentation should include: a description of the disorder and how it affects afflicted people; cause(s) of the disorder; treatments and/or management strategies for patients so they may maintain an optimal quality of life. Students may work alone or with one other student.
